In a diary entry dated September 4, 1883, a young Darwin D.
Martin once longingly wrote:

The
sweetest song on earth is ‘Home, Sweet Home.’

Martin’s expressive words resonate as clearly
today as it did when he first composed them.

And it is with those sentiments in mind that we extend our heartfelt thanks to our
dear friend and colleague, Martin House Senior Curator Jack Quinan, as he
embarks on his newest journey home to Boulder, Colorado with his wife, Sandra
Q. Firmin.While the Rockies are
beckoning, know that the prairies of Parkside will certainly miss you—and no
matter where you are, the Martin House will forever remain your home.
